ThanksVery nice. Enjoy.
I never talked to him about it. I already knew he hasn't had that available for some time now. But i'm thinking of ordering a linen strop from over seas. I've never used one and i really want to try one.I miss the linen Tony use to offer, I have a FB with linen and it's very nice, you won't be unhappy with Tony's work.

+1 on Tony's old linen. I've tried lots of different secondary strops and the linen he used early on is my favorite. Torolfs would be a close second.I miss the linen Tony use to offer, I have a FB with linen and it's very nice, you won't be unhappy with Tony's work.
I've never been impressed by any coticule edges i've tried. My goto edge is a zulu off of my naniwa 12k. Never tried a jnat edge but hear they are plenty sharp. To keen can make for an uncomfortable shave without toning down. (Not sharp enough is what i felt about the coticule edges i tried). Sorry to digress. Yes i would like to try a flax linen at some point. That seems to be the goto of many in the know.
I find if an edge is to keen and leaves you with a burn you can tone it down stropping on linen/leather, sharp is easy sharp and smooth are hard, that's what my Mentor tells me all the time, for coticules what I have been doing is putting on my keeness smoothest JNAT edge and then do 40-60 light water only laps on the small LV Coti i have and under a loupe the JNAT edge is pretty much gone and leaves you with the wild coti scratch pattern but it's very smooth and pretty sharp.
That is a beautiful strop. I love my Plain Vanilla, and will be purchasing another as soon as I can.
This is something I intend to try off of my Shobu. I get lovely edges moving from my coticule to finish on my Shobu. Time to see what the other way around is like; if I can take time off from my Arkansas'.
My next will be a linen backing or strop. I need to try that out !That is a beautiful strop. I love my Plain Vanilla, and will be purchasing another as soon as I can.

I'm not familiar with spanish bridle. Got any pics ? How does it compare to english bridle ?I really like my Tony Miller Linen strop that I got with my Spanish bridle. I actually use the linen and switch to my vanilla stop most of the time because I don't want to nick the Spanish bridle.
